"At least dying would make me feel better." Elena wasn't worried at all that the other party wouldn't make a move.
After all, if she didn't act in her dream, she would kill herself in the dream. She desperately wanted to know the truth, even if she couldn't accept it herself, she didn't want to accept it all in ignorance.
Elena, now in her dragon form, unleashed a torrent of dragon breath that blotted out the sun, engulfing the entire church.
……
"You're awake."
Elena, waking up from her dream world, finds that Iris has appeared beside her at some point.
The sky around was already dark, the automatic fishing machine next to it had stopped, and the bucket next to it was full of various kinds of fish.
“I’m really curious, what exactly is in your dreams?” Elise took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from Elena’s forehead. Ever since they met, Elena seemed to have nightmares frequently.
After she gained the power of sloth, she tried several times to check into the other person's dream, but she just couldn't get in.
This made Elise very unhappy.
"If I said that I didn't have anything in my dreams, would you believe me?"
“Of course not.” Elise rolled her eyes. “Do you take me for Nora? Even Nora wouldn’t believe your nonsense.”
"If she finds out..."
"She knows but doesn't dare to be angry with me."
Seeing Elise's self-righteous attitude, Elena thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to make sense.
Whether it was herself or Nora, they were both completely under Elise's control, seemingly... without any room for resistance.
Even someone as clever and cunning as Vivian seems to have fallen into Elise's hands.
"You're really not going to tell me the truth?"
"I want to too, but I can't." Elena shrugged helplessly. She had asked herself in her dreams why she couldn't meet Elise.
Elena remembered that the other person was silent for a long time, and finally just said lightly that she would know later.
Riddlers deserve to die!
However, Elena always felt that with Elise's knowledge and extraordinary wisdom, she should have already guessed it, right?
"Forget it, don't say what you can't say. Tell me when you can. Now it's time to have dinner."
"Oh."
Volume 1: Chapter 739 Elira really is just a nobody~
At night, Elise did not take anyone back to Green City, but instead chose to camp by the lake.
Although it was called camping, she, who possessed a portion of the power of the Earth Goddess, actually built a lakeside cabin.
It's called a small house, but it's actually not much different from an ordinary mansion.
This level of use of earth power wouldn't necessarily deepen Gaia's erosion of her, especially since Wendy has already begun to change the believers' perceptions.
She wanted to color Gaia's faith with her own colors and then transform it into her own shape!
Vivian didn't return to the Land of Hope tonight either. Instead, she stayed in the same room as Elise and severely punished the succubus-turned-Elise.
I wonder if it was because Elise said she was afraid of pain that Vivian's punishment that night seemed exceptionally gentle.
Although she herself does not admit it.
Time flew by and it was already the morning of the second day.
Feeling refreshed, Elise left the temporary lakeside cabin early in the morning.
You can see Elira standing quietly by the lake, seemingly lost in thought.
Although Elise really wanted to secretly surprise her and see if Elaela would be so frightened that she would jump into the lake.
However, she was spotted by Elira as soon as she stepped out the door. Facing Elise approaching her, Elira said with a hint of helplessness, "You wouldn't be so bored as to scare me, would you?"
“You found out.” Elise walked over to Elira and stood beside her, admiring the calm lake.
"So, what are you doing standing here so early in the morning? Trying to look profound?"
"It's just a simple recollection of the past."
"Do you have any funny stories to share with me?"
"When I discovered that you were the source of the world's destruction, I once thought about killing you."
"and then?"
"Before the plan could be implemented, I died at Miss Elena's hands, because I was reborn as a cultist and happened to capture Miss Flora."
Upon hearing Elira's story, Elise didn't show a particularly bright smile; she simply reached out and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Well, you're pretty unlucky."
“Indeed.” Elira nodded, then asked, “So you have a story?”
"Me? Of course not. In your memory, I've always had a smooth life, except for the slightly unpleasant ending. Nothing else happened to me."
Elira gave Elise a deep look. Just now, when she was reminiscing about the past, she thought of the time before she was reborn.
Although these are memories from a very long time ago, her talent from a previous rebirth can enhance her memory abilities. She can even treat her memories like a library, directly accessing whatever memories she wants, and even recreating them in her mind.
At that time, she was an ordinary maid at the Elise Mansion.
In her memory, Elise had a terrible personality and would often beat and scold them, the servants.
Fortunately, she was just an ordinary maid and didn't have much contact with Elise.
But one day, the ill-tempered Miss Elise actually greeted her with a smile before leaving the house.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Then, Elise was kidnapped, and the next news came when her body was discovered.
The body was found in a basement, covered in various wounds. It was said that the body had been tortured for a long time before death, and even the flawless face was slashed.
Elira sensed that Elise's past was definitely not as easy as she made it out to be.
She hadn't cared about these memories before, until she joined Elise's side and started interacting with her.
She became increasingly curious about Elise, to the point that she would even go to the library of memories to look through related past memories.
Just like she did.
"When you become curious about someone, you're not far from falling for them, so be careful," Elise said meaningfully.
"My will is strong!"
"Really? Let me seduce you and see just how strong your will really is~"
"Then forget it." She had little confidence in facing Elise's allure.
To avoid being teased further, Elira coughed twice and then said, "Um, have you decided which elven ruins you want to visit today?"
"Of course, I'll talk about it during dinner to avoid wasting time explaining."
Elise stretched lazily, her thin nightgown revealing a slight transparency in the morning sunlight.
Ela, who was standing nearby, felt as if she could see the outline of Elise's body.
"Didn't you say you had a very strong will?"
“While I have a strong will, I also have a heart that appreciates beautiful things,” Elira muttered softly.
"Elera really is just a nobody~"
Elise covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then turned and went straight back to the temporary hut.
……
During the meal, Elise also used her magic device to project a map of the area near Green City, and then pointed to one of the elven ruins, saying, "Our goal for today is here."
“If I remember correctly, you said this ruin was very dangerous,” Elena said, looking at the map.
"Yes, it is indeed a bit dangerous for you and Elira, but the setup is different this time. We have two ninth-tier members on our side."
"Can I come too?" Vivian said softly.
"Sure, but when did you become interested in this kind of thing?" Elise asked curiously.
"Didn't you say you came here to relax?"
"Okay, anyway, there's nothing inside that can threaten you."
The two sisters, Aurora and Breel, who had just joined, looked at Vivian with some curiosity after hearing what Iris said.
In their eyes, this thin human was at most a fifth-level expert; he didn't look like a strong person at all.
Is he deliberately hiding his strength?
Having learned from yesterday's experience, the two sisters dared not underestimate the gray-haired girl in the wheelchair.
"I'm very curious, what's inside that ruin that even Elira and I can't go in?"
"Actually, it's nothing much, just a World Tree that has been completely polluted."
Lily, who had been calm all along, immediately became excited upon hearing about the World Tree: "Another World Tree?"
“I know what you’re thinking, but that’s impossible. The World Tree has been completely corrupted. All we can do is cut it down and use it as a rare material.”
"Is there really no way?" Lily asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
"Yes, if you can persuade the winds of disaster to remove the pollution."
"That's okay."
Volume 1: Chapter 740 The more times you come, the more skilled you become.
Near Green City, adventurers can be seen everywhere. In some places, there are even stalls set up at the entrance, selling all kinds of supplies, which are of course much more expensive than in the city.
Seeing this scene, Elena couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. She used to be a veteran adventurer, until her knees... no, it should be until she was corrupted by Elise's money.
Perhaps it's not just about money, but that's not important.
"Don't buy anything here unless absolutely necessary. The things here are expensive and ineffective," Elena muttered under her breath.
"Apart from inexperienced newcomers, the only people who come to these stalls to buy things are those who need them urgently."
"They make their money off these people." Elise looked around lazily. With such a group of beautiful women strolling around, how come no one is blind enough to cause trouble?
Seeing Elise looking around, Elena couldn't help but say, "The ruins near Green City are quite dangerous, so those who come here are mostly experienced adventurers. No one would be foolish enough to come looking for trouble."
"How about I show off my charm a little?"
"Don't go looking for trouble!"
Under Elena's constant reminders, Elise had no choice but to give up her idea of causing trouble.
They could have had Sally or Elena teleport directly to the entrance of the ruins, but considering Vivian was also there, they simply teleported to the vicinity of Green City and proceeded on foot.
Let Vivian experience the local customs and culture.
Although no one actively sought to cause trouble, Elise and her group were still too conspicuous, attracting attention and discussion wherever they went.
Some people even approached them to ask if they wanted to join their adventure team, only to be scared away by a single look from Elena.
"Elena is so fierce, I'm so scared~" Elise hid behind Elira with a look of terror on her face.
Elira said with a hint of exasperation, "If you're going to act, then act. Don't try to hide from me!"
You know, being stared at by Elena is terrifying!
Amidst their playful antics, the group arrived at the location marked on the map. It was a dense forest, and Elena carefully sensed the surrounding environment but found no ruins.
"Elise, are you sure you marked the correct location?"
"Of course, the ruins are already enveloped by the World Tree's domain, so it's normal that you can't find them with your spatial perception. That's when our dear Miss Sally needs to make her appearance."
According to the game's design, to enter, you need to obtain a key first. To obtain a key, you need to explore several ruins, collect fragments, and then assemble them into a so-called key, which is too troublesome and a waste of time.
Sally happened to be nearby, so she chose the simple and direct method.
Sally, who was singled out, had already sensed something discordant about this space. After carefully sensing it, she found the weak point in the space and tore it open with force.
A chilling wind blew out from the spatial rift, and even in the sweltering summer heat, it still made people feel the biting cold.
"There's a problem with the ice and snow inside, so remember to take precautions before going in," Elise said as she stepped inside.
Seeing this, Elena quickly followed. The light of her changing ring flashed, and she was already wearing the winter suit that Elise had given her. Several flying swords also appeared around her.
Having passed through the spatial rift, she found herself in a snowy, icy landscape.
